Bincombe, Dorset, England
Unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site
Liked The size of the camping site and the view were amazing.
The proximity to areas of natural beauty, shops and options for restaurants/pubs.
I guess the fact that you had a bar and a kitchen on the camping site can be appealing to some people, although I don't necessarily need this perk.
Disliked eally windy campsite.
The toilets were really far away and not sufficient for the number of people camping on the site.
The cleanliness level of the toilets and showers was not the best; the toilets were constantly running out of either toilet paper or soap.
During one of the nights, there was a group of people who continued partying and being loud after 11 pm, despite the campsite advertising a 'strictly no noise hour'. Cars were continuously passing by my tent after 11 pm (I’m not sure if these were people managing the site or those partying).

From the manager: Hello Teodora, Thank you leaving a review. The toilets are checked regularly and I'm sorry if they did not always meet your expectations. However, to say "the toilets" (plural) were constantly running out of handsoap and toilet rolls is unfair, inaccurate and simply not true. We cannot control the wind, we are high up and it's the trade off for the views. On checking in, this would have been relayed to you with the suggestion to use one of our sheltered fields. The 11pm no noise policy is not a request, but a campsite rule. If you had phoned the campsite number, the ranger who sleeps on site would have gladly dealt with the disturbance. As for cars driving around after 11pm, that is a difficult thing to control, but I can assure you it was not any campsite vehicle, unless it was the ranger doing a final site check at between 10.30-11.00pm. I am disappointed you did not enjoy your stay. We will take any fair or valid comments you have made on board and do our best to make improvements in these areas. Best regards The Bincombe Bumps Camping Team
